That's an Apistogramma Borelli, like Tom said. It's one of the few apistos that are raised on farms for wholesale.

Hi Mark
Im not really sure that is the Borelli, one store employee thought it may be a hybrid of the Borelli tho..
Here are a few better photos for IDing. I really wish I can tell for sure what it is. It is an aggressive little fish tho...

It is definitely a Borelli. As I said, it is one of the few Apistos that are farmed and they are fairly unique among Apistos.

Hi Marc
thats for that. Now I have another photo of a apisto that I bought from the same place, and same tank, but another delivery time. Is this a more mature borellii? It looks like a german blue, but is much smaller and does not have the blue that my other GBRs had, the coloring is actually more yellow with pinkish hues on the body and a clear turqouis dot on its side. What do you think?

It is a German Blue Ram. No doubt about it. Probably a female.

Butterfly

Yep I agree. that little of pink/purple on it's belly gives it away as a female.

Thanks Marc and Butterfly for the ID!
I suspected it was a female. I had a few male GBRs but never a female. I noticed that the black first rays are even with the rest of the dorsal fin, as described to be a female. Im happy to know that it is in fact a GBR, as I always loved them. Now i have to find a male for her, but its going to be awhile til I get the tank perimeters back up where they should be due to a mini cycle Im going through at the moment.
I have two male Bolivians in the tank with her is there any chance that they may breed together? I hope not...
thanks so much for your help! ~ kate
